Time to check out all the beautiful vintage postcards and travel back in time. Today I am sharing a postcard I framed. It's from the same time frame as most of the others I have which is early 1900's. Most are 1908-1916. I found them in my husband's grandparent's very old farmhouse in a box ready to be thrown out!!

This is one of the delicate vintage lace doilies from my husband's grandparents house.

Below are this week's flea market finds.

This is a jar filled with small buckles. These will be great for scrapbooking or artcards.

This key is quite a treasure. It is the "Key of Heaven".

It quotes:

"What does it Profit a Man to Gain the Whole World If He Lose His Own Soul"

Here are some great buttons. I will probably use them for centers of my homemade clay seals.

This is the back of the key. Such beautiful detail. "Saint Christopher, Be My Guide"

My last post has a link to the Creative Scrapbook Diva's Bloghop. It was pretty successful for me. It helped me finish 4 pages. Here is one of them. This challenge was using a sketch of a lay-out to help with the placement of pictures, journaling and embellishments.

I love what you did with the postcard and the crocheted doily! Lucky you to have saved them just in time from being lost forever. I also inherited my husband's grandma's postcards - they're mostly touristic postcards which was sent to her by friends (and some she sent to herself) years ago. Coincidentally I'm also fond of going to flea markets :D

About Me

"Do not abandon your desires, the secret to your own heart. There, is where we can meet God." ~John Eldredge.
I live in a rural town in southern Maine with my husband and two elementary age girls. I love to "create" any chance I get. I enjoy scrapbooking but I really love experimenting with new techniques for homemade embellishments as well as minibooks, collages and altering projects. My interest in blogging has become sharing the "how-tos" of what I enjoy creating to become an inspiration as well as finding your corner of the art world for inspiration and ideas. I love sharing what I am actually able to finish during this busy time of life with 2 little ones.
If you find me, please leave me a comment. I would love to know who is enjoying some quiet time with me. Blessings!
